Mini Ice Age and Your Food
by Celeste B. October 06, 2018
As we approach the beast system and people wonder, “Who is like unto the beast? And who can make war against him?” there is another affliction sneeking into your life by God that poses a similar challenge to us in these Last Days:
He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold? Psalm 147:17
The You Tube is a bit dated but it provides you with an excellent overview of the State of the Climate setting the stage for a mini Ice Age or Little Ice Age. You may scoff that that climate is changing but the fact of the matter is that it is getting colder and that will impact the amount of food you be able to purchase, even with those nutrient and taste deficient Climate Resistant crops engineered to defy Climate Change.
My niche is growing heirloom crops from around the world and different time periods. I broker in rare seeds that come from the most hostile places of earth. Iver the last six year I was witnessing a reduction by a third each year. This summer it was 1/10 of even last year. I did not get skunked, but neither did I have abundance. Up until this year one variety would thrive and another fail. This summer nothing thrived, even crops from Siberia. Not only the quantity was impacted but also the size that plummeted in tomatoes averaging 2 pounds each to 3 ounces. On the 4th of July I had 25 degrees on my farm, loosing half my plants.
I am impressed with the overview of Adapt 2030 but he does not take into consideration Geo-Engineering, Nano Particle Deployment, Synthetic Biology, Herbicide dispersal, radiation, and other things so the situation is even more grim than his overview.
Chilly Solar Minimum
The sun is entering one of the deepest Solar Minima of the Space Age. Sunspots have been absent for most of 2018, and the sun’s ultraviolet output has sharply dropped. New research shows that Earth’s upper atmosphere is responding.
“We see a cooling trend,” says Martin Mlynczak of NASA’s Langley Research Center. “High above Earth’s surface, near the edge of space, our atmosphere is losing heat energy. If current trends continue, it could soon set a Space Age record for cold.” Dr.Tony Phillips

These results come from the SABER instrument onboard NASA’s TIMED satellite. SABER monitors infrared emissions from carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitric oxide (NO), two substances that play a key role in the energy balance of air 100 to 300 kilometers above our planet’s surface. By measuring the infrared glow of these molecules, SABER can assess the thermal state of gas at the very top of the atmosphere–a layer researchers call “the thermosphere.”
“The thermosphere always cools off during Solar Minimum. It’s one of the most important ways the solar cycle affects our planet,” explains Mlynczak, who is the associate principal investigator for SABER.
When the thermosphere cools, it shrinks, literally decreasing the radius of Earth’s atmosphere. This shrinkage decreases aerodynamic drag on satellites in low-Earth orbit, extending their lifetimes. That’s the good news. The bad news is, it also delays the natural decay of space junk, resulting in a more cluttered environment around Earth.

To help keep track of what’s happening in the thermosphere, Mlynczak and colleagues recently introduced the “Thermosphere Climate Index” (TCI)–a number expressed in Watts that tells how much heat NO molecules are dumping into space. During Solar Maximum, TCI is high (“Hot”); during Solar Minimum, it is low (“Cold”).
“Right now, it is very low indeed,” says Mlynczak. “SABER is currently measuring 33 billion Watts of infrared power from NO. That’s 10 times smaller than we see during more active phases of the solar cycle.”
Although SABER has been in orbit for only 17 years, Mlynczak and colleagues recently calculated TCI going all the way back to the 1940s. “SABER taught us to do this by revealing how TCI depends on other variables such as geomagnetic activity and the sun’s UV output–things that have been measured for decades,” he explains.

As 2018 comes to an end, the Thermosphere Climate Index is on the verge of setting a Space Age record for Cold. “We’re not there quite yet,” says Mlynczak, “but it could happen in a matter of months.”
“We are especially pleased that SABER is gathering information so important for tracking the effect of the Sun on our atmosphere,” says James Russell, SABER’s Principal Investigator at Hampton University. “A more than 16-year record of long-term changes in the thermal condition of the atmosphere more than 70 miles above the surface is something we did not expect for an instrument designed to last only 3-years in-orbit.”
Soon, the Thermosphere Climate Index will be added to Spaceweather.com as a regular data feed, so our readers can monitor the state of the upper atmosphere just as researchers do.

So, while the UN and other declare Global Warming, I am preparing for erratic climate and the big chill. This is not being lost by media, although it is not in the prevailing articles.

Stay warm my friends as the temperatures plummet and while you are out and about I would pick up some extra food while you can still buy it.
